RB Leipzig

[Nymzee]

Mvogo finally getting the chance he’s been whinging after:

 

[Nymzee]

No rest for the wicked as the bulls head off to Paderborn today with a 2.30pm KO. Game isn’t live on BT today.

Mounting injury worries but playing against the German version of Norwich so could go either way.

 

[Nymzee]

For those that always say RBL frig the system and buy their way to success just remember this was the line-up they last played Paderborn in the second division. Some of these players have been here from even lower down than that:

 

[Nymzee]

Team News - plus my presumed formation - but could also be a back 3 in the end with Mukiele and Laimer wing-backs. That's what I love most about this team is the variation and different set-ups depending on opposition: worlds away from Everton.

Mvogo
Mukiele Ilsanker Upa Klostermann
Demme Laimer
Sabitzer Nkunku
Werner Schick​

 

[Nymzee]

Hannes Wolf on the bench too just noticed! Kid is a brilliant prospect but unfortunately broke his ankle in the Summer playing for Austria U21's - glad to see him back.

Paderborn line-up:

 

[Nymzee]

RBL 1-0 (2’)

Schick with a beautiful turn at the edge of the box then a dink over the keeper.

 

[Nymzee]

RBL 2-0 (3’)

Sabitzer thumps one past the keeper from miles out.

 

[Nymzee]

Ey got a female ref for this

 

[Nymzee]

RBL 3-0 (25’)

Lightning fast counter from a Paderborn corner sees Werner round the keeper and slot.

 

[Nymzee]

Konrad Laimer is easily my favourite RBL player - absolutely amazing.

 

[Nymzee]

RBL 3-1 (62’)

 

[Nymzee]

RBL 3-2...

Completely lost control of the game since a couple of early subs. Zero possession and intensity has dropped. Bit worried here.

 

[Nymzee]

Schick needs subbing off ASAP

 

[Nymzee]

Oh, speak of the devil, subbed off for Cunha. Phew. He’s quality on the ball but lazy as hell.
